Mind the Blanks – Online Course
Learn how to avoid or overcome mind blanks and brain freeze when speaking or presenting
Do you struggle with mind blanks or brain freeze when you speak to groups?
Does your thinking capacity go offline? If so, it’s probably just when you need it most.
It’s an issue that my clients often mention when they’re looking for help with their public speaking or presenting. And when we apply techniques that address their particular triggers – understanding their own situational causes – it makes a big difference.
This ‘Mind the Blanks’ online course gives you 14 short (usually around 5 minutes) easy-to-digest videos with tools and techniques to deal with freezing up when speaking.
You’ll definitely find your own triggers in there!
I address the issue from lots of different perspectives. Your:
- Mindset
- Behaviours
- Actual speaking skills
It’s perfect if you want to work through different solutions – play, test and replay in your own time.
You get clear, practical content, with enough information to understand what to do, and be able to take action to overcome your fears.
Best wishes with your speaking.

My story
I really struggled with being in front of an audience: firstly in my original career as a Classical pianist, and then when I started to speak in public. I was truly awful: self-conscious, shaky, incoherent…and I suffered from mind-blanks (more here). So I learned over a period of years what works – initially to overcome my anxiety, and ultimately to find out how to speak with authority and presence. And I’m not special: I just learned the tools and practised them. You can do this too.

All of this took me years to learn; but you can get the condensed version, the shortcuts in this course.

Very useful, practical and interesting information. Hearing Sarah’s own experience created trust and, from my observations, gave the group, including myself, a sense that Sarah really did understand each persons fears and insecurities when it came to public performance. This, combined with the simple, effective physical tools
